Day 21. WA. Left Cocklebiddy nice and early, stopped at the 90 mile straight road sign for some pics then continued the 439km trip to Norseman. Nice freecamp in town, set up and decided to go and support the pub after we heard such great things about it. So I walk in the pub and ask this "non Australian" guy behind the bar what's on special today! He replies very rude: "Nothing, next you want me to give things for free"! Well ordered a beer and a softie and sat at the bar. So I thought maybe he was on his period or something so I ordered another beer with the Asian girl, who was on her phone the whole time, behind the bar. Asked her what they're doing for Melbourne Cup! Her reply was: "We sell tickets" and walked away! OK, tickets! For what? Anyway, decided to stop spending money there and returned to the camp site and drank my own beer and cooked a nice rump steak our selfs. Their loss! will support IGA and the petrol station though.
